Thanks Jeff/Dave.

I'm definitely thankful none of these ended up being Target/Walmart exclusives... Hopefully it ends up being smooth tomorrow.

You know... having this thread as a PRE-ORDER DAY thread or something like that might be handy... Jeff could post sponsor links to everything all in once place as he gets them, we can avoid looking through multiple threads for stuff... It can all go there too, but a central location for game day might be nice.

Quick and painless to get everything I wanted on pre-order.  And this is with the Notary showing up so I could sign all the closing documents to sell my house and buy a new one!

Hasbro claimed that it was a running change that was made very late in the production run of TFA figures.  It's not really known if any/many made it out to retail in 2015/2016.  Hasbro promised a re-issue and it only took them 5 years to fulfill that promise to get him out in greater numbers. :P

Wait, is that a variant that I didn’t know about and might need to track down?  Which Han?

Black Series Han TFA.  Pretty sure mine has brown hair.

I have only ever seen one example of the running change of the Black Series TFA Han Solo.  And it’s owned by Steve Evans of Hasbro (https://www.instagram.com/tv/CXzE5rVBSIQ/?igshid=NDBlY2NjN2I=).  I ordered a second one a couple of years after the initial release from the Hasbro Toy Shop eBay account hoping that maybe I would get the running change.  No luck with that.  I’m a little surprised that they would circle back and fix this after 6 years. 

I also saw reports that the Leia in Boussh disguise is different from the original release.  Evidently it’s shorter, in an effort to a be more depiction of Leia’s height.

Ah okay.  TVC only for me.

Yep, this figure has become something of an obsession with me over the years, ever since it was first mentioned/shown. You are 100% right about Steve being the only one to ever get one of these previously. (That always bugged me) After they finally made wet hair trash compactor Luke, this became the oldest figure still in limbo.

Now that they have made him, maybe we can finally get some of the other “lost” figures like Jedi Exile Luke and Argus “6 eyes” Panox…. :)
